Sándor Borz Kováts showed his steel-tube furniture and Vargánya (‘Cep’) lamp series at a 1972 exhibition, Magyar design (10 kísérlet) (Hungarian Design – 10 Experiments), which was curated by Mihály Pohárnok and was on view at Fészek Művészklub between 18 and 29 October. The display presented ten works by eight designers: Sándor Borz Kováts; Gyöngyvér Deák, née Blazsek; László Horváth; Maja Jahoda; Mária Minya; Gabriella Semsey; György Soltész; and Károly Szekeres. The significance of the event lies in the fact that its success was an inspiration for the establishment of the Prefab Kitchen Programme.
